To upper-limb prosthesis users, sensory feedback—regarding objects' texture, temperature, and more—is elusive. Thanks to a new electronic skin that communicates the sensation of pain, amputees will be closer to having lifelike prostheses. #2018AAASVideo ht

@walid Maybe one day. For now, our bodies are great templates when developing new technology for improving upper limb prostheses (and robots in general). Read the research paper on this “e-dermis” here: https://t.co/0z8Wur0iLb

Perceptions of touch and pain tell us about our environment & provide an element of protection from damage to our bodies. A new biologically-inspired e-dermis enables a prosthesis and its user to perceive a spectrum from innocuous to noxious touch. htt
